Too Faced Hangoverx 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray Review!


Setting sprays have become a vital product in most of our makeup and for some even their daily skin care routine. In case you didn't know, I would love to tell you what a setting spray is and why you might be missing out. 

The main purpose of a setting spray was to help "set" your makeup more flawlessly helping you avoid the "cakey" look. Thanks to brands packing so many skin benefits you have so many to choose from and there are options for oily skin, dry, dull, dehydrated and more. 

 Too Faced created  Hangoverx 3-in1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray. It can be used to Prime, Set, and Refresh. Its a weightless mist infused with Coconut water, probiotic based ingredient, and other great skin reviving ingredients. I have been using it daily on my skin for exactly for all 3 things. They created such an amazing product. I love it, my skin loves it, and you might too so give it a try! 

  Too Faced also has the Hangover primer, it came out a few years back, check it out HERE. 

Available: Too Faced Sephora Macys
Price: $32

Too Faced Hangover Rx Replenishing Face Primer Review!

I tried this primer from too faced with high hopes, but unfortunately it did not work for me. My first impression when first pumping it in my hand was the smell, I did not like it at all. I love coconut but this smell is more like a rancid piña colada. Then there was how itchy my face was, I think I must be sensitive to an ingredient in it. I decided to still put makeup on just to see if I noticed a difference and if the the itch would go away but I did not. The itchiness got too uncomfortable so I watched my face, which was left red an irritated. 

Overall I would suggest you try it for yourself, the reviews I read mostly raved about how great their makeup looked over this primer and the smell being divine. For me it was a completely different experience. I will be returning this one back to sephora and trying out another primer.... Which one do you guys like?

Postpartum Hair Loss And How To Grow New Healthy Hair!



Pregnancy comes with a lot of side effects for me, mostly negative like body aches, and nausea but it also has a few positives like my skin never looks better and my hair gets nice and thick. Unfortunately neither lasts forever and soon after pregnancy everything goes back to normal. The one thing I'm not looking forward to at all is the hair loss, and I'm doing everything in my knowledge to make this part not so dramatic by using and consuming things that will promote healthy hair growth.

 I started making (green) juices every morning rich in vitamins and proteins, also I make sure to drink half my body weight in water and take my prenatal vitamins. I am breastfeeding so the extra water and juices help me make more milk as well (win win) and stay hydrated and energized. These are some of my favorite hair masks to do, and I immediately notice a difference when I prepare these for my hair.
         

DIY Masks For Hair Growth

Mask 1: 
Egg Mask
  
Ingredients:
Eggs – 1 or 2 (depending on hair length)
Olive oil – 1 teaspoon
Honey – 1 teaspoon

How-to:
Take the egg white part and add all the ingredients into it
Mix it well to make it like a smooth paste
Now apply that paste all over your hair
Let it sit for about 20 minutes
Finally rinse it off with cool water and apply shampoo to your hair
Process has to be repeated for at least once in two weeks for better results.

Mask 2:
Banana (great as a face mask too!)

How To:
Take a banana (ripe one) and mash it to make a paste
Now massage this paste on your scalp and hair
Then cover your hair with a plastic bag like with shower cap or another one.
Wash it off with shampoo after leaving it for 45 minutes

Mask 3:
Avocado and Coconut Oil

Avocado – 1/2 ripped

At last, rinse it off with shampoo.

Who Wants Long Healthy Hair? Quien Quiere Cabello Largo Y Saludable?

Most Recent! 
I was looking back at some of my pictures of 2013 and could not believe how many times I changed the color of my hair and cut it. I get very bored and always like to change my look up but then it ends up MESSING UP MY HAIR BIG TIME. My hair is so messed up right now that it only looks presentable when my hair dresser works her magic. I have been avoiding cutting it at all cost mainly because my husband hates short hair and has me threatened to divorce me if I cut it short again. I will cut some off without taking too much length off, switch some products for more organic ones and try my favorite home remedies that will hopefully repair my hair and help it grow.  

Aloe For Healthy And Speedy Growth:
The enzymes in Aloe Vera, when applied to your scalp, lead to hair growth over time! I mix 3 parts Aloe Vera with 1 part honey. I apply it to my scalp and leave it for about 25 minutes before washing off. I do this once a week. 

Switch To A Sulfate Free Shampoo:
I'm trying this (cross my finger) amazing healing treatment shampoo and conditioner that are sulfate-free and paraben-free I will review after I try it out more. Sulfates can strip the hair and remove even out healthy oils that keep our scalp and hair healthy. 

The Amazing Trio: 
I LOOOOOVE this recipe so much that if you don't do anything else to your hair this alone will change your hair completely. In a bottle I mix in equal parts some organic coconut oil, olive oil, and argan oil mix these together and enjoy! I use this to massage my scalp and put some on my ends every night before I wrap my hair in a scarf to avoid friction with my pillow while I sleep.

I know that apart from our skin, our hair is one of the most important thing we as woman worry about. It is one of the first thing people notice when we enter a room but with the tips above and stepping away from the bleach and heat tools we can all have healthy envy worthy hair!

Brunette 
 Yo estaba mirando hacia atrás a algunas de mis fotografías del 2013 y no podía creer la cantidad de veces que he cambiado el color de mi pelo y me lo corte. Me pongo muy aburrida y siempre me gusta cambiar mi look pero luego termina destruido. Mi pelo es tan mal ahora que sólo le da un aspecto presentable cuando mi peluquera trabaja su magia. He estado evitando cortarmelo a todos los costos sobre todo porque mi marido odia pelo corto y me ha amenazado con divorciarse si me lo corto otra vez. Me voy a cortar una buena cantidad pero sin afectar mucho el largo, y cambiarme a  productos más ecológicos y probar mi favorito remedios caseros que reparan mi cabello y lo ayuda a crecer. 

Aloe Vera para el sano y rápido crecimiento: 
Las enzimas en el Aloe Vera, en el momento de su aplicación en el cuero cabelludo, crecimiento del pelo con el tiempo! Mezclar 3 partes Aloe Vera y miel . LO aplico a mi cuero cabelludo y lo dejo durante unos 25 minutos antes de lavar. Yo lo hago una vez a la semana. 

Cambiar a un Sulfato Shampoo gratis: 
Estoy intentando esta (cruz, mi dedo) increíble tratamiento curativo champú y acondicionador que están libres de sulfato y parabeno, después de que yo lo intente les cuento más. Los sulfatos puede eliminar los aceites sanos que mantienen nuestro cuero cabelludo y cabello saludable. 

El increíble Trío: 
AMO esta receta, que si no lo haces nada más en su pelo esta solo cambiará el cabello. En una botella mezclar en partes iguales entre las sustancias orgánicas aceite de coco, aceite de oliva y aceite de Argane mezclar estos juntos y disfrutar! YO la uso para masajear el cuero cabelludo y poner un poco de mi termina cada noche antes de concluir mi cabello en una bufanda para evitar la fricción con la almohada mientras duermo. 

Sé que aparte de nuestra piel, nuestro pelo es uno de los elemento más importante que como mujer nos preocupamos. Es uno de lo primero que la gente nota al vernos, pero con los consejos anteriores podemos tener cabello digno de envidias! 

Buena Suerte! Xxx

Coconut Cream Hair Mask!


  This mask is Ahhhhmazing!! Just tried it and I looove it! I also like that my hair didn’t smell bad after I washed it, which is always a bit tough with homemade hair recipes! This one seriously takes the cake for extreme moisture and gorgeousness!

The ingredients in this hair mask also promote hair growth and healthy scalp, BUT may make your hair a bit relaxed. This is not recommended for extremely fine hair, as it might make your hair took to greasy.

DEEP MOISTURE COCONUT CREAM HAIR MASKIngredients:

1/2 cup coconut cream
2 tablespoons sweet almond oil or avocado oil (I used both together)

Mix together ingredients very well, make sure oil and cream are blended. Then apply generously to hair and cover with a plastic hair wrap. Let sit for 30 minutes and wash! Good Luck Xxx

Silky Hair !



 The other day, I wanted to wear my hair curly and I noticed it was a little parched from all the heat that I have been using lately, so I tried this overnight hair mask and my hair was soooo soft afterward! It made the curls more beautiful and even made it straighten beautifully! I love this and I really am loving coconut milk! Good Luck Xxx

SUPER MOISTURE OVERNIGHT HAIR MASK
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon Lavender Oil
1 Tablespoon Coconut Milk
1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil

In a bowl, zuk the coconut oil for just 10 seconds so that it is liquid in texture. Then mix in with the rest of the ingredients and blend well with a fork. With your fingers, start applying mixture on damp shampooed hair from ends to roots, combing through as you go. Let sit overnight for super moisture! Then simply rinse and go!
